why doctors can’t get blood to the brain without the heart

609 viewsBiologyOther

I know medical shows aren’t accurate but I’ve been watching House MD and something commonly repeated is that heart failure is always dangerous because the lack of oxygen to the brain can cause irreparable damage in a matter of minutes.
Modern medicine is so advanced, why isn’t there a way to get oxygen to the brain if the heart stops pumping? Or is it not feasible to fix the heart problem and get it pumping again if the defibrillator doesn’t work?

If you saw House, then you saw the episode with Amber right? She was on bypass then.
